M1078 A1R (front)
M0183
The Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) is a series of vehicles, based on a common chassis, that vary by payload and mission requirements. The FMTV is derived from the Austrian Steyr 12 M 18 truck, but substantially modified to meet U.S. Army requirements.
The M1078 is the base cargo model of the LMTV (Light Medium Tactical Vehicle) series, while the M1083 is the base model of the MTV (Medium Tactical Vehicle) series. These vehicles are 2.5 ton 4x4 and 5 ton 6x6 respectively.
The FMTV was originally manufactured by Stewart and Stevenson (1996-2006), then by Armor Holdings (2006-2007), then by what is now BAE Systems Platforms & Services until 2011. It is currently manufactured by Oshkosh Corporation.
The M1078 Series is a popular base for off-road and wildland firefighting apparatus.
